As the EV market continues to be released from manufacturers to consumers, BMW delivers a fun and realistic sedan ready for all families and drivers alike. As the Ultimate Driving Machine has thrived on upscale vehicles for years, consumers looking for the sedan feel with the SUV size, enjoy the Gran Coupe’s array of model options. This week in Grasso’s Garage, it’s the BMW i4 xDrive40 Gran Coupe, and impressive is an understatement.
Wrapped in what seems to be a metallic purple, called Mora Metallic in the BMW world, adds another great color to the fleet of the already exceptional exterior palette. Powered by dual all-electric motors with high-voltage lithium ion battery pack and brake energy recuperation system, the BMW i4 Gran Coupe xDrive40 gets 279 miles on a single charge and has tons of appeal. In typical EV fashion, getting up and going is no problem with endless, instant torque while the regenerative braking system works magic and does provide additional range when settings are properly set.
